Château Giscours: rich history in the Margaux appellation
Château Giscours is one of the leading Grand Cru Classés from the Margaux appellation and was officially classified as a Troisième Cru in 1855. The wine estate has a history dating back to the 14th century. Since 1995, it has been in the hands of the Dutch Albada Jelgersma family. Under the leadership of General Manager Alexander van Beek and a dedicated team of specialists, wines with character and finesse are crafted here with an eye for detail. Giscours is located in Labarde, in the southern part of Margaux, where the famous deep gravel soils ensure excellent drainage and ripening.
Location, soil, and climate: ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon
The 95 hectares of vineyards are planted on deep Garonne gravel soils that retain heat and drain rainwater. These characteristics are ideal for the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which plays an important role at Giscours. The oceanic climate, with warm summers and moderate autumn temperatures, contributes to a slow, harmonious ripening of the grapes. The winery is known for its biodiversity, with 240 hectares of forests and meadows contributing to a healthy ecosystem.
Grape composition and harvest for Château Giscours 2024
The 2024 blend consists of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. The harvest took place from September 19 to October 11, 2024, with multiple passes through the vineyard for optimal phenolic ripeness. The grapes were carefully selected via manual and optical sorting. Thanks to the excellent climatic conditions during the summer, a beautiful balance between freshness and ripeness was achieved.
Vinification and aging in French oak barrels
Vinification took place in concrete and stainless steel tanks with a maceration period of 35 days at 28°C. Subsequently, the wine aged for 17 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new. Gentle extraction, natural yeast fermentation, and minimal intervention were chosen to allow the terroir to speak as purely as possible. This precise approach enhances the elegance and aromatic expression of the wine.
Color, aroma and taste of Château Giscours 2024
The Château Giscours 2024 displays a deep, garnet-red color. The nose opens with intense black fruit – such as blackcurrants and blackberries – followed by floral notes of violets and hints of spices. On the palate, the wine is full, juicy, and complex. The tannins are polished and well-integrated, supported by lively acidity. The finish is long, mineral, and powerful, with an energetic freshness that elegantly rounds off the whole. The wine promises excellent aging potential.

The 2024 Giscours has turned out very well indeed. Offering up incipiently complex aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with orange zest, licorice, violets and burning embers, it's medium to full-bodied, with good density and richness, with a layered, rather muscular palate and a long, expansive finish. The 2024 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The estate retained cover crops to amplify the dry conditions in July and August, accelerating ripening, and once again picked by vine age within blocks, bringing in the younger-vine fruit earlier before it could rot. Merlot came in between 19 and 28 September, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was picked very late, between 1 and 11 October.

A fresh and vivid red, showing blackcurrants, herbs and hints of needles and dried flowers. Medium-bodied. Nicely chewy tannins extend to the medium-long finish, which is bright, firm and linear. A Giscours that shows the elegance and balance of the vintage. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.

From: Event Horizon: Bordeaux 2024 Primeur (May 2025)
The 2024 Giscours was picked from September 19 to October 11 and matured in 50% new oak. It has a forward and generous bouquet with ripe red cherry, kirsch and cassis scents, with a touch of pencil shavings in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with firm and grainy tannins that frame mainly black fruit. Overall, this is a Giscours cut in a classical style, although the finish needs to cohere and muster more precision during its barrel maturation. An enjoyable Giscours for sure, even if it does not reach the heights of recent vintages. This was tasted three times.

From: 2024 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Razor’s Edge (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Giscours is impressive. Elegant and sleek, with fine balance, Giscours is all class. The bouquet alone is so enticing. Small red berry fruit, spice, tobacco, mint and cedar are all finely sketched in a mid-weight, nervy Giscours that is quite showy right out of the gate. There is a bit of edginess in the tannins, but that's not anything that can't be addressed with élevage. A closing burst of aromatics leaves a long-lasting impression. Tasted three times.

Giscours was in a dubious state when Nicolas Tari acquired it in 1954. Substantial investments followed and quality improved by leaps and bounds. In 1995 Giscours came into the possession of the Dutch grocer (supermarkets to Super de Boer and Edah) Eric Albada Jelgersma, who also invested heavily here, just like at his other Château du Tertre property and further improved the quality through a rigorous replanting and replanting program. The cellars were shed and new equipment was purchased. Today Giscours is again “the grand seigneur” it once was and worthy of a 3rd cru. With 200 ha of which 80 ha of vineyard one of the greatest assets in the Médoc.
